Abstract
The ability of a tissue to respond to stress or injury requires the involvement and functions of stem cells resident in tissue-specific microenvironmental niches. Aging has been shown to result in a decrease in stem cell number as well as loss of ability to maintain tissue homeostasis and regenerate lost tissue function. Therefore, it is of critical importance to identify stem/progenitor cell populations in different tissues, determine how these cells function in tissue homeostasis, and ascertain their potential utility in tissue engineering.
